EFFECT OF STRUCTURAL VARIATIONS ON THERMAL DEFORMATION OF SINGLE CURVATURE COMPOSITE SANDWICH PANELS
(2016-05-10)
Composite structures cured at a high temperature in a contoured female mold have a tendency to deform or spring-in when brought down to room temperature from cure temperature. This thesis investigates the effects of various ...
Finite Element Analysis and Design Improvement of Aerospace Composite Hinges
(2018-08-13)
Hinges are the most commonly used mechanical bearings to connect 2 objects for relative rotational motion. Modern day aerospace hinges are generally made using either Aluminum, Steel or bronze. The study analyzes the use ...
Investigation on Metal-Composite Hybrid Flywheels using Finite Element Method
(2018-01-08)
This research is aimed to investigate the kinetic energy storage of a hybrid metal-composite flywheel rotating at high speeds. The upper limit of energy, which flywheel can supply, is restricted by the strength of material ...
A MICROMECHNICS APPROACH TO PREDICTING THE ONSET YIELDING ENVELOPE OF PARTICULATE COMPOSITE MATERIALS
(2018-01-05)
Composite materials fail for various reasons and extensive research has been conducted both experimentally and theoretically. However, theoretical prediction of composite failure by yielding seems scarce. Adding reinforcing ...
Load Carrying Capacity Management of Compound Anisotropic Composite Rings under External Pressure
(2017-05-30)
Composites have much higher strength than conventional materials such as steel. This makes it attractive to replace heavy loaded structural elements, made traditionally from steel, by elements made from composites. However, ...
FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF COMPOSITE AIRCRAFT FUSELAGE FRAME
(2017-05-15)
Composites have been introduced in aircraft industries, for their stronger, stiffer, and lighter properties than their metal-alloys counterparts. The general purpose of an aircraft is to transport commercial or military ...
Finite Element Analysis of Composite Reactor Pressure Vessel
(2018-05-16)
Reactor Pressure Vessel is the container designed to hold gases or liquids above atmospheric pressure. The focus of this study is to develop Finite Element Model to predict the performance of composite reactor pressure ...
FEA OF CARBON COMPOSITE AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR STEEL (A992) IN CASE OF SQUARE OR RECTANGULAR HOLLOW CROSS-SECTIONS AS BEAMS AND COLUMNS
(2018-05-16)
Improvement to an existing design is an ongoing and never-ending process in every field. The improvement can be in a myriad of areas like an increase in strength, reduction in weight, stiffness to a loading condition and ...
INVESTIGATION ON EFFECTIVE MODULUS AND STRESS CONCENTRATION FACTOR OF 3D REINFORCED COMPOSITE BY FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS METHOD
(2018-05-24)
Micromechanics of Composites aims to analyze the localized stresses inside any
given constituents of the composite structure. This Thesis is focused on Calculating the
effective modulus and the Stress concentration factor ...
ANALYSIS OF COMPOSITE STRUCTURES WITH CURVATURE UNDER TEMPERATURE ENVIRONMENT
(2017-05-24)
Composite structures are frequently exposed to environments with change in temperatures during their service life. The thermal behaviours of the laminated composite structures are more pronounced than that of the structures ...
